Description
It'd be great if this library provided semaphores as well as mutexes. My use-case is implementing simple request queueing / concurrency limiting in the access phase by waiting on a semaphore.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the existing mutex API in lua-resty-lock and its shared-memory behavior, then clarify the semaphore semantics needed for request queueing and concurrency limiting in the access phase. Done should include an agreed API and tests for semaphore acquisition and release.
